Intro:
C C / F# / G, Am7 G / D / D / C,
C C / F# / G, Am7 G / Am7 / B,
Verse:
Any minute now,
my ship is coming in
I'll keep checking the horizon
I'll stand on the bow, feel the waves come crashing
Come crashing down, down, down, on me
Chorus:
And you say, be still my love
Open up your heart
m7//
Let the light shine in
But don't you understand
I already have a plan
I'm waiting, for my real life, to begin
C C/F#/G *C G/Am7/B
Verse:
When I awoke today,
suddenly nothing happened
But in my dreams, I slew the dragon
And down this beaten path, and up this cobbled lane
I'm walking in my old footsteps, once again.
Chorus:
And you say, just be here now
Forget about the past,
m7//
your mask is wearing thin
Let me throw one more dice
I know that I can win
I'm waiting, for my real life, to begin
C C/F#/G *Am7 G/Am7/B
Verse:
Any minute now,
my ship is coming in
I'll keep checking the horizon
And I'll check my machine, there's sure to be that call
It's gonna happen soon, soon, oh so very soon,
It's just that times are lean
Chorus:
And you say, be still my love
Open up your heart,
let the light shine in
Don't you understand
I already have a plan
I'm waiting, for my real life, to begin

Outro:
On a clear day
I can see
See a very long way
On a clear day
m7/
I can see
See a very long way
